Migrants make up most arrests in New York City — NYP

According to stats from the NYPD, up to 75% of people arrested in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for violent crimes - like assault, robbery, and domestic violence - are migrants.

The New York Post writes that the sanctuary city’s laws have fueled the problem, as they prevent cops from working with ICE on cases where they believe suspects are in the country illegally.

So where to from here?

Eastern Economic Forum signals Russian ‘strategy of orienting toward the Orient’

The economic development of the Russian Far East “is of immense interest to China, for several reasons,” University of International Business and Economics professor John Gong told Sputnik, commenting on the Eastern Economic Forum, which kicked off in the Russian city of Vladivostok on Tuesday.

“First of all, as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia has adopted a strategy of orienting to the orient, essentially against the backdrop of massive sanctions against Russia imposed by the Western countries. What it means is that there are lot of investments being made to improve the infrastructure in the Far East to accommodate more trade, more economic interactions with countries in Asia, particularly with China,” Dr. Gong explained.

“Against that backdrop, this conference speaks volumes about how the Russian economy is totally transforming, in my opinion, and further highlighting the importance of this economic forum,” the academic added.

Pointing to Russia’s new Asia-focused infrastructure initiatives, from the Northern Sea Route to new energy pipelines heading east, Gong said he expects these multi-billion dollar mega-projects to “contribute immensely to the bilateral economic relationship between China and Russia.”

What’s more, Dr. Gong said, Russia is responding to the continued shift to Asia of the “global economic epicenter,” including China and Southeast Asian nations. “I think we are rapidly entering a multipolar world, and the world is no longer monopolized by the richest club in the world – I’m referring to the G7 club,” Gong summed up.

Russia’s Grom air-launched weapons: Discover its cutting-edge features

The Tactical Missiles Weapons Corporation has revealed the specifications for its new air-launched weapons, the Grom-E1 guided missile and Grom-E2 guided glide bomb. After successful testing, these products are now available for export, according to a corporation spokesperson.

Both weapons can be mounted on external suspension units or in the internal armament compartments of carrier aircraft like the Su-57 fighter.

What are Grom’s major characteristics?

◻️ Grom-E1 Specifications: The Grom-E1 can be launched from a distance of 10 to 120 km from its target, at altitudes ranging from 500m to 12,000m. It is compatible with carrier aircraft operating at speeds between 140 m/s and 445 m/s.

◻️ Flight Performance: Under optimal launch conditions—specifically, at an altitude of 12,000m, a speed of 445 m/s, and a target range of 120km—the Grom-E1 missile reaches an average flight speed of 300 m/s, with linear overloads reaching up to 4g.

◻️ The missile is equipped with a combined inertial navigation system that incorporates trajectory correction based on signals from the GPS/GLONASS satellite systems.

◻️ The Grom-E1 missile has a launch mass of 594kg, a length of 4.2m, a body diameter of 0.31 m, and a wingspan of 1.9m.

◻️ Grom-E2 Variants: The air-launched Grom-E2 missile has a slightly higher launch mass of 598kg, while maintaining the same length, body diameter, and wingspan as the Grom-E1.

◻️ The Grom-E2 features an increased warhead mass of 480kg, achieved by omitting the engine. It is equipped with two fragmentation warheads—one weighing 315kg located at the front, and another weighing 165 kg at the rear of the fuselage.

◻️ The Grom-E2 missile can be launched at ranges of 10-50km, from altitudes of 500m-12,000m, and at launch speeds between 140 m/s and 445 m/s.

Both the Grom-E1 and Grom-E2 missiles have a service life of 12 years.

‘Putin’s spy whale’ found dead in Norway

The celebrity beluga whale dubbed by Western media as a “Russian spy” was found dead in Risavika Bay in southern Norway over the weekend, according to the public broadcaster NRK.

The white whale first rose to fame in April 2019 when he was discovered off the northern coast of Norway, allegedly wearing a camera harness labeled ‘Equipment St. Petersburg.’ This led to jokes that the marine mammal was on a spy mission from Moscow, earning him the nickname Hvaldimir – a combination of the Norwegian word for whale (hval) and the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

”Unfortunately, we found Hvaldimir floating in the sea; he has passed away,” said Sebastian Strand, a marine biologist who monitored the whale for several years. He added that the cause of death remains unknown. “It’s absolutely horrible. He was apparently in good condition as of yesterday. We just have to figure out what might have happened here.”

Allies Against Japanese Aggression: How the USSR & Mongolia Defeated Tokyo Before WW2

During Vladimir Putin's visit to Mongolia, the Russian president engaged in discussions with his Mongolian counterpart before participating in the 85th anniversary celebrations commemorating the joint victory of Soviet and Mongolian forces at the Khalkh River.

Historical Background: The Protocol of Mutual Assistance, signed in 1936 between the USSR and Mongolia, laid the groundwork for military cooperation. By 1937, units of the Red Army's 57th Special Corps were stationed in Mongolia.

Timeline: Spring to Fall 1939

Location: Near Japanese-occupied Manchuria (Northeast China) and the Mongolian People's Republic.

Historical Significance: Some historians argue that the Battle of Khalkhin Gol was pivotal in convincing the Japanese emperor to abandon initial agreements with Hitler regarding an eastern advance into the Soviet Union, ultimately leading Japan to strike Pearl Harbor instead.

The events of 1939 preceded the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945), a significant chapter within World War II. The memories of these war-related events are deeply revered by Russia and its diverse population.

◻️ Russian troops destroyed more than 10 units of enemy equipment in just the last 24 hours, including a Stryker combat vehicle, RAK-12 multiple launch rocket system, Tunguska anti-aircraft gun, and two UAV control points in the Kursk region, Akhmat special forces commander Major-General Apti Alaudinov said

◻️ A captured Ukrainian serviceman said troops were blindsided by the Kiev regime and not told they would be attacking Russia’s Kursk region. In order avoid mass desertion, psychologists worked with them before the attack, dismissing any questions whether they would be required to cross into Russian border areas

Following breach of international humanitarian law, UK to halt some arms exports to Israel - report

The UK will suspend 30 of its 350 arms exports licenses to Israel due to a “clear risk” that they could be used in breaches of international humanitarian law, Foreign Secretary David Lammy told parliament.

Lammy added that the partial ban will include items “which could be used in the current conflict in Gaza” against Hamas but did not include parts for F-35 fighter jets, Al Jazeera reported.

However, Samel Perlo-Freeman of the Campaign Against Arms Trade told Al Jazeera that while the UK has “acknowledged for the first time that Israel is not complying with international law”, there is “one huge, huge loophole” regarding components for the F-35 fighter jets still being supplied to Israel.

“We had confirmation just today from a Danish NGO Danwatch which got confirmation from the Israeli military that an F-35 was used to drop 3,000-pound bombs on al-Mawasi, a so-called safe zone, on July 19,” he said. “So saying that you’re going to stop arms that might be used in Gaza except for the F-35 is a bit like saying you’re going vegetarian except for bacon.”

UK officials argued that suspending critical components within a global pool of "spare parts" could harm the maintenance of F-35s in other countries, the Financial Times reported.
